Chapter 461: Silent Abyss Vortex Channel

With just a single image, Lin Xian and Kiki immediately felt a sense of oppression brought by a monstrous giant. Beneath the abyss, that giant pupil covered the entire screen.

Seeing this scene, Kiki couldn't help but hold her breath. That giant pupil seemed to be staring directly at the monitor of the energy-release port at this moment, or perhaps it was "staring" at the figure of the triangular-headed monster.

However, this image only lasted for half a second before the monitor screen froze completely, losing the signal.

At this time, on the mobile terminal screen in Kiki's hand, a pupil like a dim yellow sea lamp still remained. Just a single image exuded an oppressive aura that made one's whole body feel cold.

Lin Xian and Kiki looked at each other at this time. The tremors all around and the sounds of battle from the upper levels in the distance also quieted down simultaneously.

"Lin Xian, the channels in the upper laboratory and living area have collapsed on a large scale. We solved one monster and temporarily suppressed the mark, but... we probably can't get out from here," Chen Sixuan's voice came through the headset.

On the upper level of the base, large areas of buildings had become ruins, smoke and dust rose in the channels, the half-hanging lights in the air flickered with electric sparks, and the main channel leading to the lower base was blocked by a pile of strange entity corpses filled with black smoke. Chen Sixuan, Qian Dele, and the members who came to block it stared intently at the blocked channel, and everyone didn't even dare to breathe.

"That black bug has retreated again. Should we chase it?" Shu Qin said with a worried expression: "I think this thing is not simple, and it has been hiding in the flood discharge channel. It is definitely a threat to us."

"Can't chase," Qian Dele shook his head and looked at the battlefield solemnly: "It's already hard enough not to be discovered. We have no way to actively provoke those monsters. If we get marked again, we won't be able to hold it at all."

"Sorry."

At this time, Ryan of the Falcon Sea Group walked out, kicked away a strange entity limb in front, and then turned back to say to Chen Sixuan and the others: "We cannot activate the lattice power. In terms of combat effectiveness, there will be a great loss."

"Activating it has no meaning either," Mo Nika said calmly at this time: "Our trouble now is not immediate combat power, but how to hide."

"Well said," Chen Sixuan nodded. At this time, she prepared to clean up the aftermath. She asked Lin Xian in the communication channel again:

"Lin Xian, how is it on your side?"

"No problem for now," Lin Xian's voice came at this time: "Teacher Chen, call everyone to seal all the upper channels together, and then everyone transfer to the lower level."

"Good."

After finishing with Chen Sixuan, Lin Xian immediately contacted Viola again.

【Reconnaissance drones have discovered a large number of strange entity organisms entering the radar range of the isolated island.】

Above, Haiyan Prison was now covered with countless indescribable strange entities searching and moving. The large number of floating drones had stopped attacking under Viola's control. Viola hid behind a ruined broken wall, manipulating high-altitude drones to scan the four sides of the island.

It was not yet dark, but the entire isolated island was already like a sign of the approaching end of the world. The storm clouds above were heavy, turbid, and tightly clamped the entire island. The sunlight seemed to have been sucked away by a giant object, not a trace left. The dead and silent seawater was as black as a stirred ink pool, viscous, stagnant, and stirred up giant ripples.

The storm poured down. In the rain curtain covering the sky, countless black shadows floated out from the sea surface, tearing the sea surface. Those were giant arthropods covered in wet and slippery mucus. In the joints, there were swollen eyeballs without pupils that kept opening and closing. They were wriggling, huge tentacle groups covered in suckers and fangs, like visceral aggregates from a deep-sea tomb.

These strange organisms were unimaginable to humans, yet they seemed to be a combination of some biological characteristics of deep-sea organisms, fused, stitched, mutated, and fissioned.

At this time, the entire island was trembling. The beach was pressed and stirred by giant objects, covered in thick, foul-smelling silt. The forest trees and mountains on the island were overturned and torn. In the drone's monitoring screen, one could only vaguely see countless giant black shadows slowly approaching in the rain curtain in all directions.

"Viola."

【I am here.】

"Retreat all to the underground, abandon resistance."

【Viola understands.】

In the channel, Lin Xian saw the scene of the energy-release port and the prison, as well as the battle situation on Chen Sixuan's side, and judged that the Great Ocean God had already appeared in the southeast sea area. At this time, the monsters in the sea areas on all sides were unusually active in the storm, further indicating that the situation had reached an extremely critical moment.

Perhaps, the hunt was about to begin!

In this situation, all resistance was meaningless. The only thing they could do was to bite the bullet and lurk in this underground submarine shelter and wait.

At this time, in the middle level of the underground base, more than 600 members of the Falcon Sea Group and the Infinite were gathered. Of course, the vast majority were people from the Falcon Sea Group.

Various offices and the original rest areas were crowded with people. A large amount of supplies and various equipment were moved down by the mechanical team led by Azir of the Falcon Sea Group, almost filling all the laboratories.

The basement was filled with the sound of panting at this time. These sea group members were more organized than ordinary survivor organizations. Armed, logistics, medical, engineering, and even information reconnaissance groups all had clear divisions of labor. Although there were many people, the order was clear, and there was no chaos at all after Ryan gave the order.

In the monitoring hall, the members of the Infinite and the core members of the Falcon Sea Group—Ryan, Vanessa, Gadi, Erika, and others—were discussing countermeasures. When all plans had collapsed, the current situation seemed to have left everyone with no other retreat.

"The good news is that regardless of whether it was because of the release of the Chasang Island energy-release port, that evil god has appeared again."

Lin Xian stood behind Kiki, who was operating the computer, and looked at Ryan with his arms crossed: "Ryan, during the period you served in the Foundation, how many 'hunts' did you experience in total?"

"3 times," Ryan lifted his sunglasses: "The time and process are not something we can control. I only know that the time interval between these few times is probably around 20-40 days. In addition, when the hunt begins, for the sake of safety, the base will be silent for 12 hours."

"12 hours?" Mo Nika asked at this time: "Doesn't the monitoring know what happened during this process?"

Ryan shook his head: "There is no way to monitor it at all. It's just like now, all monitoring equipment has crashed, and the vast majority will be destroyed. Every time, after the hunt ends, the engineering department will be arranged to supplement and repair."

"So, the bad news is, we don't know what will happen next," Lin Xian said.

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Viola and said: "Viola, has it been calculated?"

【Calculation completed. Combined with existing conditions, the preliminary estimated success rate is 13.67%.】

"What success rate?" Vanessa asked curiously.

"Escaping Haiyan Island."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and directly stated his thoughts.

"I combined the submarine from the Holy City with the hydrological information of the Phoenix Society in this sea area and found a channel that should have been used by the Foundation for emergency evacuation from the island siege. I think, perhaps we can use this channel to leave here." ===== CHAPTER 462 =====
